Shock Absorbing Wagon Tongues For Pickups
![]() |
![]() |
The Franklin, Ill., farmer used shock absorbers off an old pickup bumper he had on hand. He cut the tongue in two and welded a shock absorber directly behind the extension. He added two 4-in. channel iron braces on each side and strap iron across the top. That keeps the tongues from bending in turns.
The modification added only about 3 in. to overall tongue length, Wilson says. Out-of-pocket expense was about $100 apiece, he says.
